Tokyo Century Employees Presented Lectures on the Company’s Sustainability Management in a University Summer Program
- Social
As part of our education and academic support efforts, we have been presenting lectures at universities on career design and sustainability initiatives.
Tokyo Century employees presented lectures at the BAA-SWU Joint Summer Program 2024, a collaboration between Showa Women’s University and Business Academy Aarhus (BAA), one of Denmark’s largest higher education institutions specializing in business. In the program, students from the two countries learned about ESG and the SDGs in English from various perspectives through classroom lectures and company visits. A total of 30 students, 18 from Showa Women’s University and 12 from BAA, participated in the program.
The lectures presented information on Tokyo Century’s sustainability management, Medium-Term Management Plan 2027, Tokyo Century Transformation (TCX), and Carbon Neutrality Policy and also introduced businesses related to our areas of focus: decarbonization, social infrastructures, and the circular economy.
The lectures were followed by enthusiastic Q&A sessions, with participants asking about the diverse business developments in the Automobility Business, collaborations with other businesses in relation to the subscription model business, and our initiatives for promoting an understanding of ESG.
Feedback after the lectures showed the participants strong interest in the subjects. For example, one person said they were able to understand that Tokyo Century is a comprehensive financing service company with leasing as its main business and was implementing initiatives to address social issues in addition to developing many businesses globally. Another noted that setting the Company’s carbon neutrality goal ten years ahead of the government target (2050) demonstrated its strong will to reduce emissions.
Looking ahead, Tokyo Century will continue to offer education and academic support through university lectures and other projects.
